    Neumann is grateful for the moment to help those impacted but said we need change to make our schools safer.

    “We cannot continue to live like this. These are things that are preventable, things that we can lessen the risks of, and we’ve got to come together as a community,” she said.

    Escalante’s funeral service is Sunday at 1 p.m. at Iglesia de Dios Casa De Restauracion, 3302 Nolensville Pike.

  • ABC News Plans ‘SoCal Strong’ Coverage for California Wildfire Victim


    ABC News plans to devote a significant amount of its coverage Friday to efforts supporting people in the vicinity of Los Angeles affected by the region’s recent wildfires. ABC’s “Good Morning America” team will kick off a day-long effort across multiple programs that will highlight themes of recovery and rebuilding, while encouraging viewers to donate to local organizations that aim to help residents rebuild their lives.

    The initiative is expected to be announced Thursday during “Good Morning America.”

    “It will start with ‘GMA’ and go all along ABC to ‘World News Tonight,’” says Almin Karamehmedovic, president of ABC News, during an interview. Starting Friday, he adds, “Robin Roberts, Michael Strahan and Ginger Zee will be live from affected areas to report and shed light on the tragedy, but more importantly, to raise funds and call for attention to help people who are the most affected.”

    The coverage represents an expansion of efforts that have already been in place at ABC local stations and on ABC News’ streaming news programs.

    ABC News has made coverage of the wildfires a priority since last week, when David Muir, anchor of “World News Tonight” along wtih Karamehmedovic, a former executive producer of the program, went out to Los Angeles to anchor the evening program on the ground. Audiences, says Karamehmedocvic, have responded, giving “World News” and reports by Los Angeles station KABC some of its biggest audiences in recent months. “GMA” was able to beat its main rival, “Today,” in overall audience on January 8 and January 14.

    “Being on the ground gives you a sense of the scale of the tragedy. It’s really unprecedented,” the executive says. “The fires will change the shape of southern California and the affected area for a long time. It’s a really devastating situation and the tragedy is still unfolding.”

    Muir stayed in Los Angeles last week even though the funeral of former President Jimmy Carter was taking place in Washington, D.C., says Karamehmedovic, and anchored coverage from the West Coast. He also anchored a live primetime special on Friday night.

    Roberts, Strahan and Zee will be joined by Matt Gutman, chief national correspondent for ABC News, and Kanya Whitworth, an anchor for the ABC News Live live-streaming service. Both have been covering the fires since last week.

    “SoCal Strong” coverage will continue across ABC News Live into the weekend. KABC will air “SoCal Strong,” a live special showcasing outstanding instances of neighbors and local residents banding together to help one another, on Sunday, January 19, at 6:30 p.m. PST.



    ABC News announced that they will be launching a special coverage titled “SoCal Strong” dedicated to the victims of the devastating wildfires in California. The coverage will focus on the stories of resilience, bravery, and community support in the face of this tragedy.

    The wildfires have caused widespread destruction in Southern California, displacing thousands of residents and destroying homes and businesses. ABC News plans to highlight the incredible efforts of first responders, volunteers, and everyday heroes who have come together to support those affected by the fires.

    “We want to shine a light on the strength and spirit of the SoCal community during this difficult time,” said a spokesperson for ABC News. “We hope that by sharing these stories of courage and compassion, we can inspire others to come together and help those in need.”

    The “SoCal Strong” coverage will include interviews with wildfire victims, firefighters, and local officials, as well as live updates on the latest developments in the ongoing firefight. ABC News encourages viewers to tune in and show their support for the people of Southern California as they work to rebuild and recover from this disaster.

  • Pam Shriver shares devastating news about becoming victim of robbery & losing her trophies after evacuating from LA wildfires


    American tennis icon Pam Shriver was devastated after becoming the victim of a robbery amid the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles. The former World No. 3 also lost the majority of her trophies in the unfortunate incident.

    Shriver, who was born in Baltimore and resides in Los Angeles, revealed in an X post on January 16 that her car was stolen from the parking lot of a hotel they were staying in. She added that her family had evacuated to the hotel due to the wildfires and most of her trophies were in the stolen car.

    “My son & I are at a police station reporting our car was stolen from the hotel parking lot we evacuated to when fires started. This was the car that had most of my major trophies being stored until we could safely move back home,” Pam Shriver wrote.

    Shriver won an impressive 21 singles and 112 doubles titles in her career. While she couldn’t win any Grand Slam singles titles, the 62-year-old amassed a staggering 21 in the doubles and an Olympic gold medal at the 1988 Games as well.

    She married actor George Lazenby in 2002, and after giving birth to three children, the couple got divorced in 2011. After the wildfires started last week, Shriver prayed for the safety of the city and her 23-year-old house and revealed that she and her children were safe while Lazenby was evacuated from the Pacific Palisades.

    “Praying for our many friends who have lost their houses & hoping winds calm soon. I am grateful I was planning on being @MaunaLaniHI for a vacation with my kids. Grateful @LazenbyReal was evacuated from Pacific Palisades & is safe. Praying for my house of 23 years,” she wrote.

    Since retiring as one of the decorated doubles players, Shriver has been working as a tennis analyst for ESPN and is part of the coaching team of Dona Vekic, who is currently competing in the Australian Open.


    “Watched match point by point” – Pam Shriver cheered for Donna Vekic at the Australian Open despite facing numerous challenges

    Following Donna Vekic’s dominant win in the second round at the 2025 Australian Open, Pam Shriver revealed she had followed the match point by point despite facing numerous challenges to watch the Croatian tennis player down Harriet Dart 4-6, 6-0, 6-2.

    “‘Watched’ match point by point on AO app but could not figure out how to find it streamed in US. You don’t sweat the small stuff in LA atm,” she wrote.

    The 62-year-old had to sleep with three rescue cats, and at 4:50 am following the match.

    “I have never slept in same room as three rescue cats, but these are unusual times in LA. I am starting at 4:45am because long played with Donna’s match. Starting at 4:50 am how much sleep can I get?”

    The 21-time Grand Slam doubles champion joined Vekic’s coaching team in 2022 and has led her to the Monterrey Open title and a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
